In the context you've given, sure! I like it but I have trouble believing people when they say it.
Not saying that the person in the post is correct in conflating those words, I don't think that's accurate at all.
However, it is disheartening to see so many ill-informed comments about fatness here... It's way, way more complicated than just "calories in/calories out". Even the extent to which it's unhealthy is more complicated; obesity is linked to higher risk of heart disease, but also linked to higher probability of surviving strokes/etc. A lot of the problem stems from the fact that BMI is a nearly useless metric.
One of my boyfriends is in the middle of forcing me to watch all of Naruto, and honestly I hate it so far? Once you're a couple seasons into Shipuden they interrupt every single episode of actual progress with like 5 episodes of unnecessary flashbacks. Also the message is terrible, it's misogynistic as hell and damn near fascistic.
For the One Piece fans here, I'm getting the impression that it's like almost exactly the opposite. Is that true? If so we're watching that next for sure.
They don't seem to have much presence here as far as I've been able to tell. It's a very purple state so you'd think all the orgs would be here, but they're really not.
As I understand it, a lot of the leftists I associate with don't like them very much? Mostly of the anarchist variety. I don't actually know what the story is there though, it seems more personal than just ideological differences. This is really unfortunate because they're the only leftist group that's actually doing significant work where I live. None of the other groups have any presence here, so it's PSL or bust.
The outlawing of supreme leaders.
I feel like my answer might break AskLemmy's rule 2 about "Overt Politics", but so do a lot of the other answers? Feel free to delete if so.
overtly political answer, also CW for violence.
As far as the current American system goes... nothing. By and large, even laws that seem good are mostly only used in service of the elites, against the people. Consider this series of events:
- In 2015 a white supremacist in South Carolina commits a mass shooting, killing 9 people.
- In 2017, the Georgia state gov expands the state's domestic terrorism laws, directly in response to this shooting, because the previous version wouldn't have covered it.
- In 2022, this expanded law gets used... against people protesting police brutality, who hurt no one, despite the fact that the cops killed one of them.
Unfortunately, this general sequence is not uncommon at all. Neither is the inverse, where the bureaucrats/judges/etc decide "that doesn't count, actually" when it comes to an elite very clearly breaking an existing law, or else changing the law so it doesn't apply to them in retrospect.

Sounds like it's a date!

I got these as bare-root saplings a couple years old, and planted them last year. One actually bloomed and produced some berries the same year I planted it! These things sure are prolific. This year, they're all already blooming.
I tried a couple things with the handful of berries from last year, i.e. just eating them raw, making juice, jam, etc. Raw was (somewhat predictably) not very good, but the juice and jelly were great. Also, while I don't at all mind supplementing the diets of local fauna, it was nice that the birds actually left us some! Unlike my elderberries, which they picked clean so fast we didn't get a single one lol.
Trying to get the hang of celtic tatting, just working freehand for now. Real celtic tatting patterns are surprisingly uncommon! There are a lot of cool faux ones, but those won't teach me to use these shuttles. It doesn't look very good at all, trying to keep in mind it's just for practice.
This was a perfect project for getting the very basics of tatting down. Every time I made a mistake I just kept plowing ahead, rather than getting frustrated trying to fix it. Now that the motions feel more natural, it'll be easier to advance, maybe? The pattern is from Urban Knot Design. Even though it's chock full of mistakes, I still wet blocked it and will find some use for it somewhere.
I keep learning the bare minimum of tatting and then getting frustrated and giving up... This time I'm gonna stick with it! Please forgive all the horrendous mistakes lol.
Are Lisbeth and DMC the only people left making cordonnet? I'd really like to try more appropriate thread but it seems to barely exist!

I've never heard of mujico, either positively or negatively. However, if your instance was blocked by my instance or by lemmy.ml, wouldn't I not be seeing this post?
So, what's your instance about? I'm intrigued!
